Jeremy Bray has announced his retirement from international cricket after playing 15 matches for Ireland as opener. Bray had scored two centuries while making 401 runs at an average of 28.64.

 

"I'm not getting any younger," said the 36-year-old Australian native.

 

"It's hard to get up to the levels of fitness now required and the team has an incredibly demanding schedule over the next few years."

 

Bray added:"I have had some wonderful memories and will always be grateful to Ireland for giving me the opportunity.

 

"I'd like to thank Adi Birrell for the faith he showed in me and Phil Simmons for giving me the chance to make a comeback after being out of the side for two years.

 

"The Irish fans are superb and I'll never forget the atmosphere of the World Cup in the West Indies."
